Computational Convergence 2024 Recap

Presentations & Panel Discussion

Experts from the Sidara Computational Design Community

Summary In this inaugural presentation from the Sidara Computational Design Community of Practice, several members shared computational tools and workflows currently having an impact within their area of practice. A series of short presentations were followed by a panel discussion where we explored how each of us is using computational technologies and what we can learn from one another.

01

Collaboration & Data Sharing Sidara’s computational design community is firmly focused on the benefits of collaboration and data sharing. Discussions pointed to the advantages of a connected network where experts can share insights, solve common problems more efficiently, and innovate together.

Parametric Design for Efficiency

02

Parametric design models enable designers to iterate through options quickly and find optimal configurations.

By integrating essential requirements into the computational process and evaluating key design metrics, these models facilitate informed decisionmaking throughout the project lifecycle.

03

Streamlined Workflows Computational workflows let designers collaborate with one another and help communicate design solutions to project partners such as clients, consultants, and fabricators.

Transforming What We Make & How We Make It

04

The impact of computational design cuts across all brands and disciplines within Sidara. It can transform the work of our entire talent base of designers, architects, engineers, and planners.
